    Description

    This interdisciplinary collection, edited by leading scholars, provides the first book-length treatment of statelessness in the region in which most stateless persons reside. This book fills a critical gap in understanding statelessness in Asia, offering a unique interdisciplinary and comprehensive set of perspectives. This book brings case studies and expertise together to explore statelessness in Asia, itself a diverse region, and offers new insights as to what it means to be, de facto and de jure, stateless. In identifying key points of similarities and divergences across the region, as well as critical nodes for comparisons, this book aims to provide fresh frameworks for comparative research in this area.

    • Brings together experts from a range of disciplines to investigate the scope and nature of statelessness in Asia
    • Demonstrates the multi-layered and complex interconnections that exist between minority status, social exclusion, economic development, religion, violent conflict and access to citizenship
    • Provides fresh frameworks for comparative research in statelessness in Asia
